The End of Chapter 39

Today was my last day of work… I’ll miss lunch with Lucy and Ellie, but the work will not be missed. It’s time for my brain to be my means for survival for 8 months… And the garden boy takes a bow…

I’ve finished up almost all of my packing. I have to roll up 6 large posters and then I will be ready to move… And when do I start moving? Tomorrow morning at 9:30 I’ll be taking my stuff inside… Mostly just the bed, desk, table, dresser and chairs… perhaps some other things that will fit in the car…And I get to meet Miranda, my new roommate then too, since she’ll be moving in at the same time… Then I’ll be home on Thursday… I’m going to help Lucy some with planting and moving stuff around at her place after dinner…

Tonight Lucy dropped of a wok and some other things here for me… and a thank you card for helping her… in it was a check for $500… Now, as much as I could use the money, I know it’s really too much. Both for the work I did and for her to afford… So I will have to talk to her and tell her that I simply can’t accept it… I’d just feel too bad taking that much from her. She’s just done far too much for me to ever owe me anything… I’d have done all that work for nothing simply because she’s family and my favorite aunt…

Anyway, Friday I’ll move the rest of my things in during the morning and have high speed internet set up during the day… That will be so nice after 4 months of dial-up…

Goodnight everyone, sleep well… Remember that I’ll be up at 6 am 😛
